I haven't worn a bathing suit in about 4 years. This suit has been packed away since then. It felt really good to see my progress when I put this suit on.

How many pills a day is everyone taking? I am a person who went from taking 2-3 pills a day, to 8 pills a day. This has been a weird transition for me. Anyone else weirded out by this?

I am in the pureed stage, but I am still eating to fast and taking to much in at once. I know I am supposed to take 20-30 minutes to eat my 2-3oz, but I take about 10 to 15 minutes. I think it's because I hate cold food. Anyone have any hacks or tips to help me figure out a way to slow down? I tried the baby spoon method, it kind of worked but not really.

Full liquid diet. Had tomato soup and feel drunk. Anyone experience this?
I am having a similar issue. I am 2 weeks post op and just started pureed foods. Today I had about 2 oz of refried beans for lunch and could barely keep my eyes open afterwards. It makes me want to go back to the liquids during the day and only eat meals at night.
